See Your Favorite Disney Characters at Meets and Greets

There is no better place to meet your favorite Disney characters than Walt Disney World.

With four theme parks and special events like Star Wars Weekends, there is no end to the opportunities to meet and play with princesses, villains, and Pixar pals.

Characters can be seen during parades and shows in all four parks, but the most fun (and most personal) ways you can enjoy the characters during your Walt Disney World vacation are Character Dining Experiences and Meet and Greets.

Character Dining

Eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner with Disney characters in any of the four parks.

Locations include the Crystal Palace and Cinderella's Royal Table at the Magic Kingdom, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in the Norway Pavilion at Epcot, and many other restaurants on the Disney property.

Character meals are very popular, so advance reservations are strongly recommended!

Meet and Greets

Character Meet and Greets give you the opportunity to speak with your favorite Disney characters, pose for photos with them, and get their autographs.

Meet and Greet spots are located all over the four Disney parks and very popular, so you can expect a bit of a line. Never fear, though.

The most popular Meet and Greet spots (such as Mickey Mouse, for example) have FastPass available just like any other attraction.

Remember to be polite and to bring smiles and thick pens or crayons that are easy for all the characters to hold.

It isn't easy signing an autograph with paws, you know!
